Adobe has issued a new version of its Flash Player, for all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and Android) to incorporate fixes for two serious security vulnerabilities. (For platforms other than Android, the new version number is 11.1.102.63.) According to Adobe’s Security Bulletin [APSB12-05], the affected versions of the player are:

This update resolves vulnerabilities in a product that has historically been at elevated risk. There are currently no known exploits. Based on previous experience, we do not anticipate exploits are imminent.

As Adobe says, Flash Player has been at “elevated risk”; it is very commonly installed, across multiple platforms, and is therefore an attractive target for the Bad Guys.
